I think the symbology of the music video is he felt like he was dying and all these things were chasing him like the leeches in his life the dirt of what he has done in his past etc. He has to sacrifice parts of himself to keep it all at bay but in the end its too much for him to deal with so he gives up.
to what I know, the people who chase Oli, the meaning of it is how the hell or the same people (media) and internal problems that Oliver went through in those days.
I'm surprised no one has already mention it, but you should definitely check out the live version at the Royal Opera House, it has a full orchestra and I'm 100% sure you'll love it
1 if my all time faves. The sing is about addiction. So all the people after him are like the dealers ect. It labeled them all. Once you know what the song is about, the video makes more sense. GrEaT reaction ❤
Today I discovered a band called "Resolve" thanks to a livestream, you could take a look if you want Chris. I suggest you the song "Of Silk and Straw" by them, hope you like it!
